WC to Nicolas Kiefer.

From official website:

One wild card has been awarded, to former No. 4 Nicolas Kiefer. At this time last year the German was ranked 12, after reaching the semifinals of the Australian Open - losing to eventual champ Roger Federer. Kiefer is launching his tour comeback at the BMW Tennis Championship after a wrist injury at the French Open. Players losing in the first round of the Pacific Life Open March 5-18 are eligible for the three remaining spots.

Gosh!Is it really a challenger draw?:eek:
I thought challengers could afford only 1 player seeded between 11 and 50....:confused:
I wish i could have this draw in Orleans....:cool: ...:rolleyes:

It's simply a combination of fortunate scheduling, great location and a lot of appearance fees, I think :devil:

03-04-2007, 05:13 PM

This is one of the rare ATP owned Super Challengers. It exists specifically to give players something to do between IW and Miami, and the court is the same surface as Miami. The ATP has granted an exception so that any player ranked 11 or above can enter. Anyone who is still playing in IW on Sunday at 6 pm will be withdrawn from Sunrise without penalty. No one is really there for the points or the money, they are there for the workout. The list will drop, just like it did last year and the year before that. You can check the archives here or at the Steve G forum if you want to see just how much it changes by the time the draw is made on Monday.

Sluiter will make his comeback in Sunrise after being injured since the AO according to a dutch newspaper yesterday..

tennisace

03-07-2007, 10:25 PM

Nice to see that there will be a few decent players. I forgot all about this tourney until my mother mentioned it this morning. I'm going to Miami but will be in Ft, Lauderdale from the 13th so will go at least one day. I went to the qtrs two years ago and it was pretty good. Hardly anyone there which was especially nice.

decent draw for haase, hopefully he has his wolfsburg form than he can beat Guccione, Sluiters first matches after Aussie open and possible qualies round against Vliegen will be hard but vliegen not in his best shape, we will see

the best challenger in the Circuit......come on bracciali,bolelli,seppi,starace,sanguinetti...

CooCooCachoo

03-12-2007, 04:14 PM

Wow! A qualifying draw that is better than most challenger MDs...

Well, there are low-ranked players too, but seeing as many of those are young talents, it doesn't discredit the draw that much :D

http://www.sun-sentinel.com/sports/tennis/sfl-brick030907,0,2596147.column?coll=sfla-sports-tennisMeanwhile Saturday, a long line of first-round losers at the Masters Series event in Indian Wells, Calif., was telephoning tournament director Gabe Narona, seeking a wild card into his tournament.

He has two left after issuing two to Gustavo Kuerten, the three-time French Open winner, and to Olympic doubles gold medal winner Nicolas Massu of Chile. Indian Wells losers have until 9 p.m. to get into the BMW.

...

Sebastien Grosjean, the French expatriate living in Boca Raton, will not be playing the BMW, even though he double-signed into the tournament and lost in the first round at Indian Wells. He has a thigh injury.

So I don't know what the # is - I called them this weekend but took it straight off the site and never wrote it down).

Actually, it's not mentioned as the best challenger. It has far the best draw, of course, but there are other factors saying more about the event. Other events dont have a chance to compete with Sunrise as for location and time.

It's also sad that web designers/tournaments' directors/press offices don't see the need of livescoring (let alone web cams). They don't know WHY it is important.
